"click" when shifting into park - Toyota Yaris Forums

The little red pill · 05-24-2009, 07:35 PM

Well I figured out the first noise I was concerned about. When I would shift from Park to reverse, the noise was me not applying the brakes firmly enough, and it was simply the brakes letting the car move a little when shifting into reverse.
The main question I have is the fact the transmission (automatic) make a distinct "click" that's not too loud (I usually can only hear it in the garage with radio off and windows down) when I shift it into Park. None of my autos did that before that I can remember.
So does anyone else's car make a slight "click" noise when shifting into Park?? I took it to the dealer and they say nothing was wrong, but sometimes dealers just say that. Thanks.

I think it's the pin that locks the transmission into park so it doesn't roll.

Mine does it as well and I've always been told it's just the pin locking into place. Nothing to worry about so keep on enjoying your Yaris worry free :)
